British Fires 48-Inch New Forest 1200 Linear Electric Fireplace

Description

The British Fires New Forest 1200 is a 48-inch linear electric fireplace featuring genuine hand-charred oak logs, special dark reflective anti-reflective glass and patented Air Curtain Technology heating. Built for media wall and recessed installations, it requires no chimney, flue, or gas line. British Fires sells the New Forest 1200 exclusively through authorized in-person dealers — it is not available for online purchase anywhere, including on this website. Just Grillin Outdoor Living is an authorized British Fires dealer serving the greater Tampa Bay area, with the New Forest 1200 on live display in our Carrollwood showroom.

Why the New Forest 1200 Is Different

Most electric fireplaces — including popular U.S. brands like Dimplex, Modern Flames, and SimpliFire — use ceramic, resin, or video-screen logs to simulate the look of a wood fire. The British Fires New Forest 1200 uses real oak logs, sourced from UK forests and individually scorched and charred by hand, so the fuel bed has the natural variation and texture of an actual fire rather than a manufactured replica. It’s one of the most realistic electric fireplaces available in the Tampa Bay market today, and it has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
